One Piece: I'm a Hunter on the Grand Line

Help you train?

It seems like we only met today, and we've barely fought side by side once.

With such a meager relationship, you expect me to be your teacher...

Yelena suddenly remembered that when Vivi asked the Straw Hat crew to deal with Crocodile in the original story, she wasn't very familiar with them, and they were even enemies just a moment before.

She reached out and cupped Weiwei's face in her hands, examining her carefully for a while.

It's confirmed now; this guy is a master of socializing, and his ability to take advantage of situations is already at its highest level.

Please!

Vivi didn't resist, letting her face deform in Yelena's palm, her expectation undiminished.

"From now on, all the money I earn from hunting pirates, I won't keep a single Berry for myself, it'll all be yours!"

Hearing this, Yelena released her grip. "Alright, I can teach you, but on one condition."

Weiwei nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with joy.

"This is our secret, don't tell anyone else."

She is now using her true self and doesn't want to attract too much attention from the outside world.

Weiwei was stunned. This was the condition?

I thought it would take a huge price to achieve my goal.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "You are such a kind and upright person!"

"Stop crying, or I'll leave you here!"

Yelena got up and walked towards the hospital. So much time had passed; the three of them should have been bandaged up by now.

Vivi rushed to Yelena's side, took her arm, and said, "I will definitely work hard to repay your kindness in the future!"

Yelena casually replied, "What's the point of repaying me? The best repayment is that you don't drag me into any trouble you cause in the future."

"Huh? How could I possibly be that kind of person!"

Vivi glared at Yelena reproachfully.

Then she remembered something, took out the broken metal wire from her pocket, with a ring still attached to it.

"By the way, do you think I should continue using the peacock saw as a weapon? It doesn't seem very powerful."

"Change it as soon as possible."

Listening to Vivi's slightly troubled words, Yelena finally realized that Vivi had let her guard down.

Now I don't have to worry about betraying her?

The girl was pretending to cry and asking to become an apprentice, probably partly because she wanted to get closer to the two of them.

Since we're all on the same side, any secrets we hear will certainly not be shared with outsiders.

Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, three bandaged people walked out side by side.

Mr. 9 and Miss Monday were, after all, the main force resisting the pirate captain, and it's understandable that they took the most hits and were covered in bandages.

What's going on with Ikaram?

He initially ambushed the pirates with guns, but later he didn't fight them many times, yet he was covered in injuries.

Yelena glanced at Vivi beside her.

Your criteria for selecting captains of the guard are based on seniority and age, right? Otherwise, why are equally loyal Jaka and Bel only vice-captains?

Both of them were Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, and they could easily shove the old man into the sand with one hand.

Vivi couldn't guess Yelena's thoughts, but she could see the deeper meaning in her eyes. Blushing, she offered a few words of defense for the old retainer of the household:

"He's very strong; he got beaten up like this by the pirates while protecting me..."

The voice was so soft it was negligible, clearly lacking confidence.

Icarum was unaware that the two people were teasing him. Upon seeing Vivi, he quickly approached.

"well enough?"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted slightly towards Yelena.

Weiwei nodded to him and said silently: It's done.

Ikaram visibly relaxed, and Chong Weiwei gave him a thumbs up.

Yelena couldn't help but shake her head; she simply couldn't bear to look at them, both of them were idiots.

When the group returned to the dock, the bounty hunters from Guatemala had already dispersed, and Whiskey Peak's ship was ready to set sail.

"Come with me."

Miss. Monday led a group of people to the captain's cabin.

Once inside, without saying a word, he first opened the money box and spread it out on the table.

Mr. 9 rubbed his hands excitedly, "It's finally time for us to split the money!"

Miss Monday looked at Yelena and said, "You're new here today, so you don't know the rules on the island."

"Whiskey Peak is a bounty hunter town under the Baroque Works. According to the organization's rules, we have to hand over half of every bounty we earn."

Yelena nodded in understanding.

Baroque is a huge organization, and its operating expenses must be incredibly high; it's impossible for Old Sha to provide all the money.

The contributions from subordinate departments are a stable source of income.

Thinking of this, Yelena suddenly froze.

Her other identity is the Black Robe Hunter, and also a high-ranking agent of the agency. When she uses this identity to hunt down pirates in the future, will she have to hand over part of the bounty?

hiss!

When will these inhumane rules be abolished?

What kind of employee pays their boss?

After deducting half, there are still 15 million, which means that everyone present can get 3 million Berries.

After receiving their share of the money, Mr. 9 hooked his arm around Icarus's shoulder and left, while Miss Monday called out to Yelena and Vivi.

"It's more than two days' flight from here to Whiskey Peak. You can share a room with me for now."

Vivi's eyes lit up. "Great! Finally, we don't have to live on the deck anymore!"

Yelena knew why she was excited.

The ship was packed with over a hundred bounty hunters, filling every available cabin to capacity. Newcomers like her and Icarus had no right to occupy anyone else's space and were relegated to the deck.

The two of them were exposed to the sea breeze for several days and almost fainted.

In response, Yelena could only say that the princess's infiltration period was too short and she had not yet adapted to the life of a bounty hunter.

If there are no rooms available, just grab one!

Compared to powerful pirates, the two are weak. But compared to low-level bounty hunters, they are both experts capable of taking on ten opponents at once.

A mere display of force is enough to secure both a room and respect.

"Once we return to Whiskey Peak, I will report on the previous battle. Based on your performance, the three of you can be promoted to the rank of 'Billionaire Elder' within the organization!"

"If I hadn't joined so recently, it wouldn't be impossible for me to become a mid-level agent directly."

Miss. Monday sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the two of them with regret in her eyes.

Vivi's expression changed. "Really? Thank you so much!"

Improving her standing within the Baroque Works is one of her current goals.

Yelena waved her hand dismissively, "Don't mention me in the report."

Miss Monday looked puzzled. "Why? This is a rare opportunity. Other bounty hunters would fight tooth and nail for it, but it would be difficult for them to level up."

Vivi didn't seem very surprised.

Yelena countered, "Didn't you say it's difficult to quit after joining?"

"Presumably, the higher one's status within the Baroque tradition, the less likely one is to sever ties with it."

"I might as well just be an ordinary bounty hunter. Whenever I want to leave, I can just walk away. Who would notice?"

Miss Monday's dark face was filled with helplessness. "How dare you say these things in front of me, a mid-level agent?"

"Why not? We've fought side by side, teammates, bound by life and death. Would you really refuse something so small?"

Yelena stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

The muscles are quite firm, but unfortunately the strength is a bit lacking.

Miss Monday sighed and nodded, "Alright, let's do it your way. Anyway, I don't know any big shots up there, so there's no need for me to consider their interests."

"Thanks, I'll treat you to drinks later."

Weiwei, standing nearby, muttered softly, "Are you old enough to drink yet?"

"Having killed people, why would I care about those rules?"

Yelena reached out her hand, thud!

"Ouch!" Weiwei covered her bright red forehead, looking at her with a accusing expression.

"Hahaha, you two have such a good relationship!" Miss Monday laughed and patted the two on the shoulder.

Two days later, in the evening, the group successfully arrived at Whisky Peak.

The squares on both sides of the river were filled with cheering people, celebrating everyone's successful trip.

Yelena's gaze swept over their heads, and she roughly counted in her mind that there were over a thousand people.

They are probably bounty hunters or their family members.

With so many people, the daily expenses must be a huge sum of money.

No wonder the hill behind the town is full of tombstones. They can't deal with the high-bounty pirates, so they have to go all out against the ordinary pirates and try to squeeze every last bit of Berries out of them.

Yelena declined the house in the town center that Miss. Monday had arranged for her, picked up her suitcase, and walked side by side with Vivi and Icarus towards the foot of the mountain.
